Mine started like that then MISFIRE.
Check your coils.

Good Luck.

What is the 4.2L supposed to idle at?

Do a throttle body calibration and see if the situation improves.

I cleaned the throttle body & MAF, and that improved idle.

Different techniques were flowing around on how to do the calibration, and none worked for me.

VAG-com showed my throttle plate as 0.9 degree when gas pedal is not pressed. Is that within range ?

oh , and the free vag-com version does not let user trigger the calibration.
